NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
ACTION: Notice of the OMB review of information collection and
solicitation of public comment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The NRC has recently submitted to OMB for review the following
proposal for the collection of information under the provisions of the
Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). The NRC hereby
informs potential respondents that an agency may not conduct or
sponsor, and that a person is not required to respond to, a collection
of information unless it displays a currently valid OMB control number.
1. Type of submission, new, revision, extension, or reinstatement:
Reinstatement.
2. The title of the information collection: NRC Form 592, ``NRC's
Handling of Your Concerns.''
3. The form number if applicable: NRC Form 592.
4. How often the collection is required: One time, as allegations
are closed.
5. Who will be required or asked to report: Individuals who have
submitted an allegation to the NRC.
6. An estimate of the number of responses: 240.
7. The estimated number of annual respondents: 240.
8. An estimate of the total number of hours needed annually to
complete the requirement or request: 240 (one hour per response).
9. An indication of whether section 3507(d), Pub. L. 104-13
applies: Not applicable.
10. Abstract: NRC is requesting reinstatement of NRC Form 592 to
conduct a voluntary survey of allegers who bring health and safety
concerns to the NRC. The survey is used to determine the level of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction with NRC's handling of their
allegation. The survey will be sent to allegers in various categories
(allegers who allegations were resolved but not substantiated, resolved
and substantiated, or resolved and partially substantiated) whose
allegations were filed in each of the four NRC regional offices and the
two major program offices, the Office of Nuclear Reactor Regulation and
the Office of Nuclear Material Safety and Safeguards. The results of
this survey will be used by NRC management to gauge the effectiveness
of its existing program and to develop programmatic revisions, as
needed, to improve its handling of allegations.
A copy of the final supporting statement may be viewed free of
charge at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW (lower
level), Washington, DC. OMB clearance requests are available at the NRC
worldwide web site (http://www.nrc.gov/NRC/PUBLIC/OMB/index.html). The
